I am an experienced Administrative Assistant with 16 years of progressive pharmaceutical experience supporting Senior Level Executives.
My one year contract as an Administrative Assistant/Office Manager within the Oncology Strategic Development & Program Management department ended on March 4th, 2016. I assisted the Executive Administrative Assistant to the Vice President of Oncology and the Global Head of Clinical Trial Budget Management at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, along with various other Executive Global Heads.
In the last few years I have been contracting and unfortunately due to head count I have not been offered a permanent position with any of the companies. My last full time permanent position was with Warner Chilcott Pharmaceuticals where I was for almost ten years. I have excellent organizational, oral and written communication skills, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to multi-task and prioritize. I believe in an outstanding work ethic and the ability to work well in both team-oriented and self-directed environments.
